🧪 Lab life week 3! With my amazing PhD mentor Lee, we filtered, plated, and streaked bacteria to hunt for E. coli, Salmonella & Pseudomonas. DNA’s extracted & ready for sequencing next week—our ecosystem’s molecular profile is coming together! @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social @bioimaginguk.bsky.social

🧬 After extracting DNA from water samples, Mia checked quality via gel electrophoresis—success! The 16S region was intact. Now she is running Nanopore sequencing to ID bacteria & explore microbial diversity. Results coming soon… stay tuned! #EnvironmentalMicrobiology #WeAreNCL
